There are many things to love about German-born Barbara Bouchet. For me, it’s those eyes…
Not that the rest of her isn’t wonderful: 
A couple more, to get the full effect, so to speak:
And at age 80, she’s still gorgeous.

Classic Beauty: Brigitte Bardot
People who weren’t around at the time, or who weren’t aware of Brigitte Bardot probably cannot understand the effect she had on the world in the early 1960s. She literally defined the term “sex kitten”, and many of those who followed her in that appellation simply don’t compare.
Consider:
She simply exuded sex appeal, and was the object of many a callow lad’s fantasies. And I was no exception.
Classic Beauty: Dawn Addams
Brit actress Dawn Addams was one of those beauties who wasn’t a star or anything like that: just someone who made our lives a little better by being beautiful every time we looked at her. Proof thereof:
More? Why not?
Did I mention her red hair?
Exquisite.
In Praise Of The Unknown Actress – Tami Erin
I never saw the U.S. version of Pippi Longstocking in the late 1980s, so I missed Tami Erin in the role:
Of course, she was a teeny back then, but she did grow up, oh yes she did:
…and more mature:
Now, like so many of them, young Tami seems to have lost her acting career (because age, whatever) and gone over to The Dark Side OnlyFans — no I don’t have access — and this seems to be the kind of thing she does now:
It’s a long way from Pippi, but there it is.
When The Girls Come Out To Play
Earlier this week there was some silly awards thing (which nobody cares about) called the “Pride Of Britain”, which as far as I can see is just an excuse for showbiz houris to show off their boobs. You’ll recognize some but not others, but I simply couldn’t be bothered with names because, as I said above, nobody cares. Here’s a sample:
You have to know things are bad when Carol Vorderman (#1) is the most restrained of the lot.
Classic Beauty: Mistresses (1)
We’re moving away from the movies today, and looking at a few women who were the mistresses of various kings and emperors. First up:
Emperor Alexander II of Russia and Catherine (Katya) Dolgorukova
Next, Britain’s Charles II and…
Barbara Villers Castlemaine Palmer
Phew… it’s a wonder the old boy had any time left over to do any ruling. Anyway, now it’s the turn of:
King Frederick William II of Prussia and Wilhelmine Rietz 
Back to Britain for some King Georges.
George I and Sophia Kielmansegg
George II and Henrietta Howard
George IV and Mary Robinson
And lastly for today, from Austria-Hungary, Emperor Franz Joseph I and:
Anna Nahowski
(who, by the way, was all of fifteen years old when FJ started bonking her; then again, she was already married and thus by law no longer a minor)
More next week.
